This month's issue of CLEO magazine features the work of Anna, from One Happy Leaf, a maker who works with bamboo to create sweet, nature inspired jewellery.
"Hello there, I'm Anna from Perth, Western Australia. I live with my fiance and naughty kitty cat. When I'm not making jewellery I'm in the veggie patch growing lovely organic vegetables, or reading a good book with a hot tea in one hand!
I opened my Etsy shop last year after I was feeling stifled working in a government job. Working on my jewellery pieces gives my right brain a workout and gives me a sense of satisfaction that my job doesn't. My fiance lends me practical supports with the shop, encouraging me to expand, improve and acting as quality control on my packaging before it gets popped in the post.
All of my pieces are inspired by nature. Those who know me well know that I am a lover of animals and bush land, so it was only natural (excuse the pun!) that I would make nature themed jewellery. I have recently branched out into making jewellery out of eco-friendly wood. I'm hugely excited by this, and the hippy within me can't stop doing a little happy dance."
For the opportunity to win these two pairs of earrings, (a pair for yourself and a pair as gift perhaps?) please leave a comment below. The giveaway is open internationally and will be drawn tomorrow
morning.

Bek - Very sweet! I wear the same earrings every day and would love to change them out with lovely earrings like this- or give them away... Perhaps!
